Delayed Mode TSG data of the SURVOSTRAL project

Project: SURVOSTRAL international program
Description: In-situ sea surface temperature and salinity from the TSG installed on the Astrolabe vessel (IPEV)
Period: 1993-2017
Area: Southern Ocean between Hobart (Tasmania) and Dumont d'Urville -the French Antarctic base-
Source: LEGOS, France

The delayed mode datasets are available for two different periods: 1993-2002 and 2002-2017

I. Delayed-mode data, 2002-2017

The data are freely downloadable here (see README.txt file for details)
Netcdf files are at the GOSUD format

II. Delayed-mode data, 1993-2002

NetCDF files are available on request.
